Interestingly there is a town in the U.S. named after every planet--but one. Clarification: for each planet (save one) there is a town in the U.S. named after that planet.

Reasons: (1) Nobody wants to live in Uranus; (2) Nobody wants to ask directions: "Hey buddy, how do I get to Uranus?"

This will be small consolation for the residents of Intercourse, PA.

Little known fact: Uranus' blue color is caused by the methane (CH4) in its atmosphere. Really.
